    I was really looking forward to this one too and was really dissapointed when Arnoutis replaced him... I knew arnoutis had no chance and most of u prolly felt the same way..

    Harris would have put up a much better fight and ortiz would have got tested for real..

    Why didnt this fight happen and can it still be made?

    Harris is done. He almost got knocked out by some can in his last fight. The guy simply can't take a punch.

    Harris priced himself out again? If he did, that's foolish

    Yeah, he did. Arnaoutis was a better opponent than Harris though who's past his best now. He struggled with a journeyman last time out.

    It's unfair to say that cuz every fighter can have an off night.. Plus Harris was coming off of a long layoff so he was a bit rusty..

    I think Harris would have folded too....let's face it...Ortiz could have fought both guys the same night with the same result. Ortiz needs a step up now...but who?

    :lol: Malignaggi would pose a stylistical challenge but Demetrius Hopkins??? naw hops isn't a step up...

    Malignaggi is fine but i think Ortiz and his handlers are looking for safer fights.

    Ortiz is very impressive. He has a great combination of speed and power. Not to mention he looks very technically sound.
    He really impressed me with how much he hurt Arnoutis with just one shot. Arnoutis took shots from Torres for 12 rounds and he seemed ok.

    Is Ortiz the hardest puncher at 140???

    I dont know about him being the hardest puncher, but i do see him as the best puncher due to his proper punching technique..

    Guys like Urango and Torres are heavy handed but they use their brute strength rather than technique...

    I would say Ortiz and Holt are the two best punchers at 140.

    They'd at least want someone he'd look better beating. Kendall Holt would be an ideal step up, IMO. Ricardo Torres wouldn't be bad either.
